Review on in vitro models of embryonic development

Yasmine and Ina have written a short review about the different types of stem cell-based in vitro models of embryonic development. This includes embryo-like models such as blastoids and gastruloids as well as those models based on the directed differentiation of stem cells along specific trajectories, for instance the neural lineage. The publication can be […]
